Description

Official letter/report in Arabic script. 6 lines preserved from near the beginning. (There are also a few lines legible as mirror-image imprints only, including the phrase "adām Allāh saʿādatuh,") Narrow sheet with a wide right margin, a format seen in ca. 13th century documents. Probably from a provincial amīr to the capital. The sender reports that his father the amīr Fāris al-Dīn has sent some crops (qalīl ghalla) to the noble addressee, who is then flattered for several lines.
